Perth, the capital of Western Australia (WA), is at the forefront of solar energy adoption, capitalizing on its exceptional solar resources to lead the region toward a sustainable energy future. With an average of over 3,200 hours of sunshine per year, Perth is one of the sunniest cities in Australia, providing an ideal environment for solar power generation. The uptake of solar energy in Perth has been remarkable. Residential solar panel installations are widespread, driven by the desire to reduce electricity bills and lower carbon footprints. As of 2024, nearly one in three homes in Perth has rooftop solar panels, making it one of the highest rates of residential solar adoption in the country. This grassroots movement is complemented by substantial government support. The Western Australian government offers various incentives, including rebates and feed-in tariffs, which make solar installations more affordable for homeowners and businesses.
